Michael Kiefer of The Arizona Republic reports that Cris Kirkwood, former bass player for the MEAT PUPPETS, an influential Phoenix band that became a national act in the 1980s and '90s, was shot Friday (December 26) after an altercation with a security guard at the downtown Phoenix post office.
Kirkwood, 43, was taken in critical condition to Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center and whisked into surgery for an abdominal wound. According to witnesses, Kirkwood quarreled over a parking space shortly before 5 p.m. in front of the post office at Central Avenue and Fillmore Street. Kirkwood was apparently backing into the parking space on Central when Jenny Hom, 32, of Phoenix, attempted to pull into it from behind. Hom honked her horn, then both drivers pulled into a parking lot. Hom said that Kirkwood, whom she did not identify by name, followed her and stopped her on the sidewalk outside the post office, yelling obscenities at her. "He shrugged his shoulder as if he was going to hit me," she said. "He didn't hit me." Hom went into the post office and reported the man's behavior to a security guard. The guard escorted the man out. Kevin Killigrew of the FBI said Kirkwood shoved the guard twice. The guard "took out the baton and held it out in front of him and said, 'You need to leave,' " Killigrew said. "The guy took the baton from him and struck him at least one time in the forehead at which time the guard felt fear for his life. He said, 'I thought the guy was going to kill me.' He already displayed that he would hurt him, and the guard shot him one time in the abdomen." Shortly after the incident, the guard was sitting dazed on the steps of the post office. Kirkwood's clothing sat in a pool of blood on the sidewalk. "I never shot anyone before," the guard told police. Kirkwood and his brother Curt fronted the MEAT PUPPETS, who had several hit records in the 1980s and '90s, and were cited as an influence for bands such as NIRVANA. The MEAT PUPPETS released eight CDs and won a gold record in 1994 for "Too High To Die".Report: Ex-MEAT PUPPETS Bassist Shot By Guard

Up-regulation of microRNA-155 in macrophages contributes to increased tumor necrosis factor {alpha} (TNF{alpha}) production via increased mRNA half-life in alcoholic liver disease
UMMS Affiliation

Liver Diseases, Alcoholic; MicroRNAs; Macrophages; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha
Activation of Kupffer cells (KCs) by gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Toll-Like Receptors 4 (TLR4)-LPS-mediated increase in TNFalpha production has a central role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease. Micro-RNA (miR)-125b, miR-146a, and miR-155 can regulate inflammatory responses to LPS. Here we evaluated the involvement of miRs in alcohol-induced macrophage activation. Chronic alcohol treatment in vitro resulted in a time-dependent increase in miR-155 but not miR-125b or miR-146a levels in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, alcohol pretreatment augmented LPS-induced miR-155 expression in macrophages. We found a linear correlation between alcohol-induced increase in miR-155 and TNFalpha induction. In a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease, we found a significant increase in both miR-155 levels and TNFalpha production in isolated KCs when compared with pair-fed controls. The mechanistic role of miR-155 in TNFalpha regulation was indicated by decreased TNFalpha levels in alcohol-treated macrophages after inhibition of miR-155 and by increased TNFalpha production after miR-155 overexpression, respectively. We found that miR-155 affected TNFalpha mRNA stability because miR-155 inhibition decreased whereas miR-155 overexpression increased TNFalpha mRNA half-life. Using the NF-kappaB inhibitors, MG-132 or Bay11-7082, we demonstrated that NF-kappaB activation mediated the up-regulation of miR-155 by alcohol in KCs. In conclusion, our novel data demonstrate that chronic alcohol consumption increases miR-155 in macrophages via NF-kappaB and the increased miR-155 contributes to alcohol-induced elevation in TNFalpha production via increased mRNA stability.

Singer Gwen Stefani is quite possibly one of the busiest women in show business right now, but that does not stop her spending plenty of quality time with her kids. Gwen is often seen out and about with her family, showing working mums everywhere, that there is always time for family.
Gwen was most recently spotted with her sons Kingston and Zuma, while playing in the park, with husband Gavin also in tow. Stefani, who currently runs three fashion lines for her label LAMB, has just returned to the studio with her band No Doubt, to record their first album in almost a decade.
However, that does not come without it's sacrifices. A LAMB spokesperson explained, "Given the extraordinary demands of working on three fashion lines while also finishing a new record, it is hard to say whether she will be able to attend the actual presentation in New York next month." Notice how she never puts her family on the backburner.

The Brazilian Wine Market: What Consumers Drink and Why?
The Brazilian Wine Market: What Consumers Drink and Why?
Published: October 2013
Publisher: Canadean Ltd
Product ref: 185352
Pages: 73
Format: PDF
Delivery: By product vendor
Product Synopsis
This report provides the results for the Wines market in Brazil from Canadean's unique, highly detailed study of consumers' Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) consumption habits, and forms part of an overall series covering all CPG product markets. Its coverage includes, but is not limited to, consumption behaviors, the extent to which consumer trends influence their consumption, the value of the market these trends influence, and brand and private label choices as well as organized retailer choices. Much of this information can also be analyzed by specific consumer groups, providing hard and fast data on consumers and markets at the product category level.
Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
Marketers in the Wines market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Wines market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
As consumer confidence increases with the economic recovery, consumer trends will be directly affected. Since the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 the organized retail market has been characterized by an increase in the amount of discounted and own-brand products. Fortified Wine, Sparkling Wine, and Still Wine are not considered essential items and therefore consumption patterns have been negatively affected. As economic and market recovery continues over 2012, consumption patterns will record a positive trend in both the medium and heavy frequency bands and the amount of non-users should decrease
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets – making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial. The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of consumption across 26 consumer groups. This data provides a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

Key Features and Benefits

Detailed consumer segmentation covering over 26 consumer groups, 20 consumer trends, and consumption frequency for each product category.

Unique retailer choice data at the product category level in organized sector, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.
Key Market Issues
The Affluent economic group in Brazil have the largest value share in the wine market, with this segment contributing almost one-third of the total market size. This group is followed by the Better Off income group, while the Hard Pressed segment contributes the lowest value share. This may be due to the fact that Wine is relatively more expensive than other categories in the Spirits market and has a more affluent brand image. The rising income levels of the middle class and increasing propensity to consume Wine during social occasions is presenting further scope for wineries and marketers to target these segments.
Consumer frequency analysis reveals that consumption of Sparkling Wine is lowest among 'Early Young Adults' and is highest among 'Older Consumers'. While Older Consumers are currently the best age group to target, due to the higher penetration rate and higher consumption frequency, this also highlights that there is potential scope for marketers to target non-consuming Early Young Adults in order to further widen their customer base.
Private label penetration is low in the Brazilian Wines market, with Fortified Wine the most successful private label Wine category followed by Still Wine and Sparking Wine.
Key Highlights
Switching analysis indicates that consumer loyalty is low for Wine consumers in Brazil as the top three organized retailers witnessed a large number of end consumers switching to other retailers in the last six months.
Consumer survey results indicate that Changing age structures, Changing life stages and Indulgence are the leading trends influencing Wine consumption in Brazil. Companies need to consider these behavioural trends in order to effectively reach their target audience.
Still Wine accounts for the largest share in Wine in Brazil, both in value and volume terms. This category is preferred mostly by men, while female consumption is higher for Sparkling Wine. Still Wine is expected to remain the undisputed leader in the Wine market in years to come as middle class consumers are increasingly attracted to wine consumption.

Increasing Java heap space
Hello all. I am trying to create an array of ints with 10,000,000+ elements but I get an error 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space'. I understand that I can increase my heap space somehow, but I don't really know how. I have a very good computer so I would like to double it at least. Thanks.
if you type java on its own on the command line you will get help about options available. One of them is -X. Type java -X and you will get further help about the -X options. Good luck.

Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh), Feb 8: Telugu comedian Brahmanandam was mobbed by thousands of fans recently when he came here for the idol installation at Pathur Veerabrahmendra Swamy Temple. He left the venue soon after unveiling the idols.
"He was invited to unveil the idols Govindmamba Sametha Veerabrahmendra Swamy, Srimat Kalika Devi and installation of Sri Nandeeswara Dhwaja Stambham. We tried to keep it a low key affair but the public got to know and showed up in thousands," Chandrasekhar, organiser of the event, told IANS.
"He was supposed to address the gathering after unveiling the idols but he was so irked by the behaviour of the crowd that he left very quickly. The police had to intervene and control the mob which tried to approach Brahmanandam," he added.
The 58-year-old actor has appeared in over 1000 films in a career lasting over two decades. Some of his best films include "Aha Naa Pellanta", "Appula Appa Rao", "King", "Ready" and "Balupu".
He is also a recipient of the Padma Shri award.

Color Me Pretty
Hello friends! It's me, Leslie with Color Me Pretty and this time I wanted to work with a softer palette filled with neutrals, leaf greens, amber, lavender and a little chartreuse. My experiment was to use these colors while trying to find my inner "botanist" because little touches of science seems to be a popular trend in home decor that I just can't get enough of… I hope you like my translation of this today!
Decorating Tips: You can bring this decorating "scientist" look into your house really simply with lovely glass lab bottles filled with samples from a walk in the park or around your yard. I also love the look of amber glass for a similar effect. Instead of recycling my glass vitamin bottles I save them as little flower vases to hold smaller "specimens". If you are not into vitamins you can also purchase amber glass bottles really inexpensively at bottle supply companies and they come in all sorts of fun sizes.
Old botanical drawings of plants and antique looking fonts can also be easily found and used to compliment this look. If you are making your own projects, it helps if you create a little series and use date stamps -think science project observations! I walked around my garden and painted a few samples of what was growing last week, but photographs or collages could have been good too. If you put a little label and date on each piece you start to create a "study" kind of look that can be displayed together.
DIY Idea: I wanted to create a quick clothesline effect to hang watercolor renderings I did of what is growing right now in my little garden. However, I could not decide where I wanted to drill the holes into my walls! Instead I made a clothesline canvas that can be propped up anywhere and made in a jiffy. I used natural twine, mini wooden clothes pins, a canvas board (from an art supply store) and some heavy duty tape. As long as you do not hang anything too heavy, the mini twine clothes lines reinforced with duct tape on the back of the canvas can hold your inspiring little pieces. If you want to do something a little stronger you can use a prepared canvas that is wrapped around a wooden frame (ones made up for oil paintings) and use hanging screws and wires to create the clothes lines. Attach the hanging screws to the sides of the canvas, screwing them into the wood and use the wire as you hanging line. Either way you have an easy moveable display for your bits of inspiration. – xo Leslie.
Do you have any ideas that you'd like to share on how to bring a little decorating science into your home? Please share in the comments section!

These are beautiful, and I love the color combo you used. I know it's pretty elementary, but I always liked taking fall leaves and ironing them between a sheet of wax paper. Now that I'm not in kindergarten anymore(!), I could probably take the project a step further!

*sigh* Okay…the first thing that happens to me, when I see one of Leslie's posts, is I think " AH! I adore this palette! Now, how can I completely redo one of my rooms to work this stunning combination in? " :) Last week I decided to turn or guest room into a turq and persimmon haven and now, I am thinking I have to work some of these beautiful shades of purple and lavender and amber in to my already moss green kitchen! Soon….I am going to run out of rooms! :) Leslie, I say this everytime….but, you are just amazing. This is gorgeous and inspired. Thank you! :)
.-= Melissa de la Fuente´s last blog ..Monday: inspired by a golden photograph… =-. -
What a beautiful look, I like the lavender pictures and also how eveything works together- the twine and pegs tie in with the garden feel too. Thankyou leslie for another post of great colors and ideas kat
The clothesline board idea just solved a problem for me! I've been trying to come up with an inspiration wall idea for my studio that didn't involve a lot of holes in the wall and looked attractive. I think this is just the answer! Thanks so much:)
With the dark days of winter upon us I was delighted to see such colour on your site this morning. It made me feel like spring…. I can almost hear the birdies!
The colours you've chosen work so well together and are really fresh and bright (especially the lilac, green and white combination).
I love the instant and easy-to-move clothesline and the artwork looks great hung up on it. Your images are all really inspiring, thanks for sharing!

Leslie – Lovely collection as usual! I've taken to holding onto just about every type of glass container that comes through my kitchen — jelly jars, smaller jars that held tapenade, anything! They come in so handy for casual arrangements, or for bottling our simple homemade salad dressing. There's nothing I like better than picking up a motley bouquet at Trader Joe's and scattering small arrangements throughout the house.

I LOVE this post…my post this morning was all about purple and how I plan to pair it with green in my dining room. This post has been most inspiring! Thanks :)
Hey Holly and Leslie. I love your decoration ideas and the colors are so beautiful … as always. One of my favorite autumn/winter decoration stuff are two deer antlers, which I painted white. I think it looks pretty cool. A pair of antlers is often easy (and free) to get from the forester, because deers are loosing their antlers every year. Greets from Koblenz, caro.

November 9th, 2009 at 10:44amHi Leslie. I'm a lurker but want to come out from the shadows to say hi. I wonder if you and Holly ever work on these color stories together? This really reminds me of Holly's taste. Also the pharmacy glasses because she has them too. If not, I would like if you both did a post together sometime?? Maybe???

Purple is the only color I don't have in my house right now (!) and I have been thinking hard about where I could incorporate a little lavender … well, after this beautiful display maybe I will go a little bolder.
We have a lot of bright green visible through the windows for most of the year so I am always on the lookout for color combinations to go with it. This post is so inspirational!

Gorgeous, as always! I have a super-simple idea to add, from my own home, where we used a set of antique prints of bird's eggs [the study of eggs is called oology, what a great term!] floated in simple, inexpensive double-glass frames, and hung in a grid above our bed:
I think this presentation sort of turned the set into one larger work, and it was really simple and cheap!

I am so addicted to the science look — probably because of my physics background. I just love beakers and bottles and ways of organizing things. This post gives me so many good ideas I don't know where to even start… Vintage lab equipment, definitely. Old bottles, yes please. Strings with cloths pins holding up notes and cards about plants — how perfect would that be in a greenhouse…

I am also a HUGE fan of this science trend in decor, and I think its perfectly complimented by this fabulous palette. I love finding vintage prints from nature guides/books and using them in collages or framing them– I *love* the display that VisualLingual linked up there!!
great work as always, Leslie!

I have two blank canvases that I was going to cover with fabric, and then changed my mind. Now I know exactly what to do with them. Thanks!!
Everything is so lovely as is always the case with Color Me Pretty! The lavenders and the greens are so fresh and bright…definitely inspiring!

Oh wow! How absolutely lovely. Wonderful inspiration. I am definitley now craving some amber medicine bottles.
I love botanical prints. they have always been my favorite thing to collect. little detailed sketches of flowers from yesteryear! they remind me of times when small things were treasured like a cluster from the garden. you my dear leslie seem to have a knack for unearthing these bygone pleasures. you are detailed, precise yet wild with imagination. and your work is always displayed on a white backdrop which keeps it modern and fresh. I am continuously inspired by the way you work with such care and consideration.

As the former New Times music editor, I was kinda tickled to check Twitter and see that a request for restaurant recommendations just came in from a touring Los Angeles indie rock band that's going to be in the Valley this Saturday.
The band, called Louden Swain, asked, "Any really good eats near Hollywood Alley that you'd recommend for a band passing through PHX?"
In short: yes. But before I throw out some ideas, I should mention that the Saturday night lineup looks cool -- it's part of the International Pop Overthrow festival, and I can vouch for a few of the local acts on the bill (DFactor, Elvis Before Noon, Breakup Society . . .). Hell, maybe I'll even head over myself, after taking care of my food spying duties for the night.
Once upon a time, I toured the country (and also Japan!) with a band called The Makers, as merch table chick, roadtrip sing-along participant, and occasional Japanese translator. Seemed like we ate a hell of a lot of fast food no matter where we were, and when we were driving through the Midwest, we relied on Subway and any Chinese buffet we could find. Too bad Twitter didn't exist back then.

This joint might as well be a Texas legend. I've heard so much about it from magazines, friends, and readers that I was dying to make it over to this storied establishment. In my research, I noticed the scorn heaped upon the new metal building with the cheesy awning reminiscent of Caligula XXI in Dallas. As I gazed at old photos on the wall of the now abandoned building next door that used to house…
Deserving of a 3.5 rating. Very typical, no crust on brisquit
Loved this dark old school BBQ joint. You know the place is special when there isn't a menu available. Ribs, Brisket, or sausage....that's it! Make a pick and be prepared to be enjoy true East Texas BBQ!
This is one of those great East Texas barbecue joints. Going to try the ribs.
Go for the ribs, they won't disappoint. And if you've gotta go this place has an insane restroom.
Ribs Ribs and more Ribs!! Order Ribs! Stay with Ribs! Don't even get sides-Just Ribs
Great ribs, turkey and beans. Brisket was dry.
Great food and flavor. The ribs have a good bark and snap. The sides were very tasty. The banana pudding was sweet to eat. Overall, the place lives up to the TM review. We would gladly eat here again.
Gotta go for their ribs, truly fantastic. Atmosphere is fun. Location is a little out of the way.
The prettiest ribs in the region come steaming out of the Country Tavern's enormously efficient kitchen, and the brisket's good too. A dark-red sauce gives the hickory-smoked meats a sweet East Texas edge. The big, bustling place is like a cave tarted up with neon, but the waitresses have a girl-next-door quality, and the mood is family-friendly.

Clark laments Johnson absence
Lee Clark was frustrated with the way Huddersfield conceded goals in the 2-1 defeat at Plymouth.
Ant the Town boss felt the absence of Damien Johnson - on loan from Argyle and ineligible to play - was a factor in the loss.
Bradley Wright-Phillips netted for the hosts either side of Anthony Pilkington`s equaliser.
"I am certainly not happy with the two goals that we have given away," said Clark. "They were very simple: goalkeeper to Rory Fallon, headed on, and then the third touch is in the back of the net.
"Both goals were like that and it was very poor. We could have defended better for both goals."
On Johnson, Clark added: "Damien Johnson has been outstanding for us and we have lost a game where he doesn't play. His consistency has been of the highest quality, so it's easy for people to see now that we have missed him."

India keeps its grip on Sri Lanka as China tries to steal influence and lengthen its "string of pearls," a cluster of developing nations along the Indian Ocean rim that Beijing controls.
Militant Buddhism was a driving force behind the 25-year war between Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese and minority Tamils. Combative monks remain, inflaming religious tensions on the island and threatening to shake up the country's fragile peace.
Sri Lanka has defeated the Tamil Tigers. But more than two months later, the country's refugee camps are still full and political reconciliation has not begun. Is a lasting peace possible?
American political and business leaders need to capitalize on a groundswell of democratic and market-opriented reforms underway in this oft-neglected region in the world. "Washington must discard its Cold War approach to relations with south Asia and stop viewing the region primarily in terms of its potential threat to U.S. interests"; a rapidly growing south Asian middle-class is creating one of the "world's most important emerging markets" and bolstering regional stability.
Three issues preoccupy Asia's leaders (1) economic strategy (2) political stability versus greater openness (3) regionalism. The accelerating socio-economic revolution presents challenges to both the Marxist and the democratic states. There is a requirement for increased public participation, greater local autonomy and more regional and international interaction. On balance the odds favouring a largely peaceful revolution are lengthening.
Over two decades, Americans have come to expect dynamic economic growth and relative political stability in East Asia. Until recently, China was the perennial exception, and the Soviets had no regional role to speak of. Today, these judgments are being reexamined. The region is not necessarily in trouble, but it is in ferment, and the future is less sure--for itself and for American interests--than it seemed even a short while ago. Furthermore, the economic and political stirrings are not of a short-term nature; they involve generational and systemic transitions within the region and shifting roles for external actors, including the United States and, now, the Soviet Union.
East Asia was a stable region in 1984, marked by general progress toward the goals laid down by the various national leaderships. In Japan, Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's election to a second two-year term signified continuity in foreign policy and particularly in the partnership between Washington and Tokyo. Not only is the close security relationship with the United States being maintained; Japan also began significant movement toward a modest but increasing political role in global affairs.

José Ariel Contreras Camejo (born December 6, 1971) is a Cuban professional baseball player who plays for the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican Baseball League. A pitcher, he has played in the Cuban National Series (CNS), Major League Baseball (MLB), and internationally for the Cuban national baseball team.
Contreras played for Pinar del Río Vegueros of the CNS, and competed for the Cuban national team in the Summer Olympics, the Pan American Games, the Baseball World Cup, and the 1999 exhibition series against the Baltimore Orioles. Recognized as the best Cuban baseball player, Contreras defected from Cuba in 2002.
Contreras signed with the New York Yankees of MLB after defecting, and played for them in 2003 and 2004. He has since played in MLB for the Chicago White Sox (2004–2009), Colorado Rockies (2009), and Philadelphia Phillies (2010–2012).
Cuban career[edit]
In addition to his time with the Cuban national team, Contreras pitched for the Pinar del Río Vegueros of Cuba's Cuban National Series. In his last season in Cuba (2001–2002), he went 13–4 with a 1.76 ERA and 149 strikeouts.[1] Contreras was named Cuban Athlete of the Year on three separate occasions.[citation needed]
In March 1999, Contreras pitched for the Cuban national baseball team against the Baltimore Orioles in an exhibition series at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana. Contreras pitched eight shutout innings and struck out ten.[2] It was then that Major League scouts took notice of the Cuban pitcher.[3]
Major League Baseball career[edit]
New York Yankees[edit]
Contreras defected from Cuba in October 2002 while pitching for the Cuban national team during the Americas Series in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico,[4] leading the Yankees to sign him to a four-year deal on December 26, 2002.[5]
Contreras went 7–2 and posted a 3.30 ERA, but he spent two months on the disabled list with a subscapularis strain, had four stops in the minor leagues, and was in and out of the bullpen. While a starter, Contreras was 6–1 with a 2.34 ERA. Out of the bullpen he was 1–1 with a 7.43 ERA. His best game occurred on September 23 at U.S. Cellular Field, in which he shut out the White Sox for eight innings while striking out nine. Contreras appeared in the 8 postseason games, pitching 11 innings total, with a 5.73 ERA striking out 17.
The Yankees inserted Contreras into the starting rotation from the start of the 2004 camp, but he was inconsistent. Contreras was optioned to the minor leagues for approximately a month (May 5 through May 21). His best start occurred on June 27, against the New York Mets. He struck out ten batters, but what was more important to him is that for the first time since being in Cuba, Contreras got to pitch in front of his wife, Miriam and daughters, Naylan and Naylenis.
Chicago White Sox[edit]
On July 31, 2004 Contreras was traded to the White Sox for pitcher Esteban Loaiza.[6] Contreras pitched inconsistently for the White Sox, up until the end of the season. On the last day of the season, he threw eight innings of two hit baseball earning his 13th win of the season. He finished with a 5.50 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 1701⁄3 innings between New York and Chicago.
The 2005 season began with mixed results for Contreras. Contreras started the season with five consecutive no-decisions and an ERA of 3.04, and but pitched poorly after that until the All-Star break, with a 4–3 record. The first game after the break (July 14), Contreras pitched extremely well, beating the Indians 1–0.[7] As the White Sox raced to the playoffs in the second half of the 2005 season, Contreras became Chicago's most reliable pitcher, winning his last 8 starts and on occasion halting the team's losing streaks. One of the main reasons was the way he pitched. With the help of fellow Cuban Orlando Hernández, Contreras began dropping his arm angle during his delivery. Contreras also contributed the 3 postseason victories that tied Andy Pettitte for the most second half victories in the Major Leagues with 11, and he threw his first Major League complete game against the Minnesota Twins, on September 23[8] Contreras finished the season 15–7 with a 3.61 ERA and 154 strikeouts in 2042⁄3 innings.
Contreras started Game 1 of every series during the playoffs. He won two of the three Game 1's. The one he lost was to the Los Angeles Angels, this allowed Contreras to earn the win in the pennant clinching Game 5, the fourth consecutive complete game for White Sox starting pitching. Contreras went 3–1, with a 3.09 ERA, 14 strikeouts, and only two walks. During Game 1 of the 2005 World Series, television commentators said that Contreras, who started the game for the White Sox, had his name banned from being mentioned in Cuba by order of President Fidel Castro.[citation needed] White Sox games were also banned from Cuban television and could be seen only with illegal television satellites.[citation needed] The White Sox went on to win the World Series in 4 games.
The 2006 season began with Contreras inking a three-year contract extension to remain on the South Side.[9] Contreras started the season as well as he had finished the previous one. As of July 6, 2006, he was 9–0, with a 3.31 ERA and 71 strikeouts. On June 17, in an 8–6 win over the Cincinnati Reds, José pitched 6 innings and threw a career high 13 strikeouts as he broke the White Sox team record with his 16th consecutive regular-season win, previously held by LaMarr Hoyt (1983–84) and Wilson Alvarez (1993–94). Dating back to the 2005 season, Contreras won 17 consecutive games before finally taking the loss against his former team, the New York Yankees on July 14, 2006. Contreras was named by his White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén to the 2006 American League All-Star team, but was unable to play because he had thrown 6 innings and 117 pitches in a start just two days before the All-Star game. Guillen, the AL manager, replaced him with Minnesota Twins rookie Francisco Liriano.[10] This enabled Contreras to become the first pitcher in 30 years to start 2 consecutive regularly scheduled games.
Contreras suffered setback as a case of sciatica put him on the 15-day DL in May. Along with seeing his personal winning streak come to an end, Contreras finished the season with a 4.27 ERA, including a 5.40 ERA after the All-Star break.
Contreras struggled mightily in the 2007 campaign along with the disappointing White Sox team who finished fourth place in the American League Central Division. He posted a 10–17 record with a 5.57 ERA. One positive note for Contreras were the career-high 2 shutouts recorded on May 10 against the Minnesota Twins and on September 19 against the Kansas City Royals.
Contreras ruptured his Achilles Tendon on August 9, 2008 while attempting to field a ground ball against the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox placed him on the 15-day disabled list, and Contreras ended up missing the rest of the season.[11]
After an 0–5 start to the season, Contreras was sent to bullpen status on May 9, 2009. On May 10, 2009 he was sent to the minors.[12] On May 12, 2009, Contreras cleared waivers and was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte Knights.[13] On June 8, 2009, Contreras was called up after the first game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers to start the second game.[14] Coincidentally, Jeremy Bonderman was also called up after the first game to face Contreras. Contreras threw an outstanding eight innings and only gave up one hit and one walk, with three strikeouts, resulting in his first win.[15] In his second start after a brief stint in the minors Contreras was equally, if not more, dominant than his last appearance. Notching his second consecutive victory, Jose threw eight innings of shutout baseball once again, giving up two hits and two walks while striking out eight.[16]
Colorado Rockies[edit]
On August 31, 2009, Contreras was traded to the Colorado Rockies with cash for minor league pitcher Brandon Hynick.[17]
Philadelphia Phillies[edit]
On January 28, 2010, Contreras signed a 1 year, $1.5 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies.[18] He pitched out of the bullpen rather than being a starter as he had for much of his career. He recorded his first career save against the Milwaukee Brewers after taking over the closer's role from the injured Brad Lidge. On October 29, 2012, the Phillies declined his 2013 option and he became a free agent. He went 1-0 with a 5.27 ERA with 13.2 innings pitched in 17 games after spending most of the season on the disabled list.[19]
Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]
On February 23, 2013, Contreras signed a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.[20] He was released on June 13, 2013. He was re-signed on June 17, 2013. The Pirates released Contreras on July 18, 2013.
Boston Red Sox[edit]
On July 19, 2013, the Boston Red Sox signed Contreras to a minor league contract.
Texas Rangers[edit]
Contreras signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers on December 5, 2013.[21][22] The team granted the pitcher his release on March 22, 2014 when the club informed Contreras that he would not make the Opening Day roster.[23]

Kitty: Okay, what happens when you eat fast?

Kitty: Right. Ok well, our relationship works the same way. When it grows too fast, it.... it gets gassy too. And.... and, and then bad things happen and people leave the room.
Fez: You know, I really love things with holes. Swiss cheese, donuts, inner tubes.... I don't know what it is about a hole, it just feels good.

Jackie: Oh, honey. It's blush, not spray paint.
Fez: Oh, Eric. Let me just say I'm sorry.
Eric: For what?
Fez: I can't tell you. Hey, but if you were to guess that Casey's taking Donna to a honeymoon suite, I'd say good guess.
Eric: Wait, Casey and Donna got a motel room?
Fez: Yeah, but hey, look at the bright side, Donna and Casey may be doing it, but at least they're doing it in a vibrating, heart-shaped bed. If you see what I mean.
Jackie: Michael, it was one guy from work. And I've told you, I'm sorry. God, how long are you gonna keep throwing that in my face?
Kelso: Well, how long are you gonna keep throwing your face in other guys' faces? Wow, that was clever.
Jackie: Michael, Phil's the guy who delivers the sausage.
Kelso: You tramp!
Jackie: No, idiot. He brings food to our store. He's our sausage guy.
Kelso: TRAMP!
Jackie: Well... how do you feel about his hair?
Donna: Love it. Lots of body.
Jackie: And his body?
Donna: Love it. Lots of hair.
Jackie: How about his car?
Donna: I love it. Trans-Ams kick ass.
Jackie: So, hair, body, and car... the big 3. The Holy Trinity of Love.
Jackie: Okay, boys, I brought cheese samples from work.
Hyde: What's wrong with 'em?
Jackie: Nothing. Well, they were in the trash.
Hyde: Cool.
Fez: Hand it over.

I'm the Pablo Picasso Designer, Perfectionist

The Bashful Dwarf Designer that's me!
I'm The Albert Einstein Designer
The David Copperfield Designer Btw nice ads on website
I started reading from the last one and the only one that I found really relevant to me was:
The Albert Einstein Designer
Before I read it I almost got sure none of those matched me.
I'd say I'm an Einstein Picasso hybrid with a dash of Mahatma Gandhi !
I'm the 50Tons type . Ha, you didn't expect that did ya?

Why Katy Perry Can Predict Search Share Better than Nielsen & comScore
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
I think perhaps Katy Perry should get out of the music business and get into the world of search engine metrics. I suggest this because she hits the nail on the head, when it comes to analyzing the market share of the various search engines.
After Nielsen yesterday painted a picture that portrayed additional market share for Yahoo, a drop for Google, and an overall climb in search activity, comScore decides to whitewash over it with a completely different picture of the industry in the U.S.
First, overall searches didn't climb, but actually dropped 3.5% from June to July. And, while it concurs Google saw a drop in search share–albeit a more modest 0.3%–it's also claiming Yahoo saw its share drop from 19.6% to 19.3%.
So, who is comScore declaring the victor? Bing! Its data suggests Microsoft's Bing grew its search share from 8.4% to 8.9%–and almost 1% growth overall, since Bing launched.
All this really proves is how inaccurate the different research companies are–and that you shouldn't ever look at one month's data in isolation. And, really, do any of these numbers actually matter? Isn't revenue earned from search, the only number we should be measuring?
